why?

[loza]

i have just found out that i am 5 weeks pregnant and woken up the last few days with red spots all over my face, cheeks, chin and forehead etc. They look to me like kind of teenage spots and are not itchy or anything I am 20 yrs old but have never really suffered with spots since i was 15! so im taking it that its because of pregnancy but i was wondering if theres anything i can eat or drink that may keep my skin looking fresh? xx

first of all congratulations! i too have the same problem and im 16 weeks, if your in any doubt of what they are it might be worth getting them checked by a doctor! my face has become very greasy and so has my hair. all i can advise is keep drinking plenty of water!
all the best.

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and am still getting crappy spots...and i'm 25! I def think it's a hormone thing!!

One word
HORMONES!
Never ever had spots in my life until I was pregnant then I ended up looking like a 16 year old! Hopefully later in your pregnancy you'll start to 'bloom' and get the 'glow' instead!!!
